Welcome to the Friends of the Walworth-Seely Public Library web site. Our group was organized in 2003 and incorporated in 2005. Our goal is to promote the Walworth-Seely Public Library in as many ways as we can and to provide materials which are not in the library's budget.

Friends participate in the annual parade at Walworth's Festival in the Park every summer. Above, the Friends decorate their float according to the parade's theme.	Friends hold a used book and baked good sale twice a year at the meeting room in the Walworth Town Hall where hardcover and paperback books, cassettes, DVDs, videos, CDs and scrumptious baked goods are among the many treasures found at our sales.
In August of 2009, the Friends presented a new sign to the Walworth-Seely Public Library. You can see it above the entrance to the library.	In November of 2009, Friends presented a $1,000 check to the Walworth-Seely Public Library to help support library programs in 2010.

The Friends organization provides many programs for the community. These include maintaining the on-going book sale in the library and home delivery. If you have difficulty getting to the library, the Friends will bring the library to you! Friends’ volunteers also gather and arrange the contents of the children's display case in the library. In November 2009, Friends presented a check for $1,000 to Library Director Mary Zingerlla for help with upcoming library programs facing fuding cuts. This past summer, we donated an eight foot banner that is a welcoming sign over the library's entrance doors. It has three logos printed on it: OWWL representing the Pioneer Library System, WSPL, and the Friends. In 2009, we also helped provide refreshments for the library’s end of summer reading program social, and for the Walworth Memories program. There were also two book and bake sales and the parade float and booth at Walworth’s Festival in the Park. The Friends gave a free book to children who came by the booth. Computer tutoring resources are now available by the Friends, please ask at the library’s front desk for more information.
